Knee Replacement Surgery is categorized into two main sub-types: Partial Knee Replacement Surgery and Total Knee Replacement Surgery.

Partial Knee Replacement Surgery

Partial Knee Replacement Surgery includes replacement of only a part of your knee that has been damaged. The advantage of this method is that there are small incisions made, involves less bone and blood loss, corresponding to less pain. Patients prefer partial surgery for faster recovery. In case of arthritis, a partial knee replacement surgery can be a disadvantage as arthritis can develop in the remaining part of the knee which was not replaced.

Total Knee Replacement Surgery

Total Knee Replacement Surgery includes replacing your entire knee that is damaged. In this procedure, the surgeon replaces the irregular surfaces of the worn bone with smooth surfaces. In some cases, the concave side of your knee cap is replaced with plastic surface to reduce further pain and smoothen the functionality of knee joints. Procedure also involves removal of cartilage and bone.

Post surgery, your doctor will counsel you about all the necessary measures you must follow for better and faster recovery. Once your healing process completes, it will take few more days to get back to your normal routine.
